- Bodog stopped processing deposits and withdrawals from Skrill accounts on April 17.
- Players are being asked to choose alternative deposit and withdrawal methods.
- There is no suggestion that any funds are at risk.
Pokerfuse can now confirm that Bodog has stopped processing deposits and withdrawals from Skrill accounts. Bodog’s affiliate management company, Betting Partners, told pokerfuse that Skrill was no longer an option on Bodog sites.
Players are being asked to choose alternative deposit and withdrawal methods. There is no suggestion that any funds are at risk. No official reasons have been given for the change.
Players have reported failed cash outs over the last few days and some have received an email announcing the changed policy:
Effective April 17, 2013, Skrill (Moneybookers) will no longer be an available payment method. However, you can always make or receive a payment after that date by using one of our many other great deposit and withdrawal options.
Bodog_Ice, Bodog’s Network Liaison rep on 2+2 was unable to comment: “Because the cashier side is specific to each operator.”
Bovada, the US-facing site on the Bodog network, did not accept Skrill, and is not affected by this change.
Since MoneyBookers was bought by private equity fund Investcorp Technology Partners in 2007, it has grown rapidly and rebranded as Skrill. In 2010, Skrill was listed as the fastest growing private equity-backed company in the UK based on profits.
